How do we collect information?
We collect information about you in a number of ways:
Automatic programming. When you register at www.betterregulation.com and move from page to page within our site, the information you provide is automatically stored in our electronic files.
Cookies. A cookie is a very small text file placed on your hard drive by a web page server. It works like an identification card whose purpose is to tell the server that you have already been to that web page before and are now returning. A cookie cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It can only be read by the server that gave it to you and is unique to your computer. Cookies are useful because they save you time by remembering usernames and passwords. Cookies also enable predictive text in the location box. For example, if you begin to write betterregulation's web address, by the time you have typed in www.better, your browser location box will probably be offering you www.betterregulation.com without having to key in further characters.
Telephone. If we speak to you by telephone, we will ask your permission to retain the information you provide in our client database (electronic files).
Research. We may find out information about you through research. For example, you may have consented to have some of your details appear in literature and directories or on the web site of your employers in order to promote their goods and services.
